Jakarta, CNN Indonesia – People without symptoms (OTG) is still a major problem in control coronavirus second wave in Wuhan, China.
The new co-19 case in Wuhan came back into existence after China did not declare a new case in two weeks.
When local health authorities ordered nucleic acid tests for all cities within a 10-day period to prevent a second wave of outbreaks, asymptomatic patients emerged.
The transmission of new cases in Wuhan, against six people in the same neighborhood, allegedly started with an elderly man who was self-medicating.
In late March, the person showed no symptoms, but earlier in the month the doctor stated that he was co-19 positive.
Tracking contacts of related residents was performed with the results of dozens of asymptomatic cases that were later quarantined.
“Community-level infection in cities cannot be eliminated, this is a challenge to prevent asymptomatic people from infecting others,” wrote the editorial. China Daily quoted from Narrow times.
While a professor of medicine at Duke University’s Global Health and Environmental Health unit in the United States, Dr. Gregory C. Lane described asymptomatic patients as a major problem for physicians facing co-19.
“Massive tests will help identify infections, they need to be repeated periodically and require large funds and are quite difficult to maintain,” Lane said.
“I don’t see an easy and inexpensive solution to stop the brief transmission of a mass vaccination program that may also need to be repeated every few years to maintain immunity,” he continued.
Another problem Wuhan faces in the fight against Covid-19 is testing capacity because 53 laboratories and 211 clinics can only process 46,000 samples per day, far from the goal of testing an entire population of nearly one million per day. . (nva / dea)
